Dorsey has stepped up well in the absence of Daboll. I disagree. Watch that play again. Three KC defenders were converging on Allen. Two Bills receivers were blocking downfield. If McKenzie caught the ball, he would have easily gained five yards, and potentially many more. Good call, bad execution by ONE guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I preface this by saying I think option plays are not very effective. So this might be my bias but I think they over thought the call. It all worked out in the end but that’s the one call that in my mind sticks out as a bad one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two Bills receivers were blocking downfield. If McKenzie caught the ball, he would have easily gained five yards, and potentially many more. Good call, bad execution by ONE guy. It actually would be bad execution by Allen because pitching the ball to McKenzie was not one of the options for Allen on the play. That was an improvisation by Allen ala the Houston playoff game when he was running and pitched it to Dawson Knox...who also wasn't ready for it. The options for Allen on that play per what we were told was to hand it off, run with it himself or throw a pass. There was no option to pitch it to McKenzie, he was likely there as a decoy to draw eyes and defenders away from Allen running it. Allen clearly was going to run with it himself until 3 Chief defenders were about to tackle him behind the LOS when he decided to pitch it to McKenzie who wasn't looking...I guess that's a situation where you maybe tell McKenzie to always be ready for the unexpected with Allen, but I don't think blaming him is really fair.

They're both pretty much the same thing. I'm sure the party responsible for the hiring takes opinions of players and team leaders into account. But my impression is that there's a fair amount of nepotism and, for want of a better phrase, "flavor of the month", involved in a lot of coaching hires vs. careful exploration of the coach's track record and due diligence. Fundamentally, some owners seem to take the viewpoint they're going to hire a guy who has all the ingredients to be a successful head coach - work ethic, drive, ability to be a leader of men. Then, they leave him alone and let him figure it out. That's the Steelers/Chiefs model which the Pegulas appear to wish to follow with McDermott. Then there's the "flavor of the month/short leash" model which teams like the Broncos and Houston appear to be following. I'm certainly not someone who was splitting hairs differentiating between sideline Surface smashing vs. Dorsey's booth outburst. One thing I'm sure is that Dorsey will face a lot of scrutiny as to whether his outburst was isolated or part of a track record that might prove embarrassing.

I honestly don't think a single owner would downgrade Dorsey for what he did in that booth. They want to know he can win first and foremost. He can represent a team well in press conferences etc just fine. Long list of coaches who have outbursts when it's a close game with non desirable outcomes, and they kept jobs easily. The whole outburst thing is an extreme non factor in the world of NFL coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Airseven Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Offense seems fine other than the usual short yardage issues and poor run game that we’ve come to expect.

ColoradoBills Posted October 19, 2022 Share Posted October 19, 2022 Dorsey is just scratching the surface of the other offensive schemes and styles he can develop outside the main passing game. It's going to take some time. He is already showing a better run game in KC. As to a HC gig next season. Owners better realize that Ken is good, but he is not going to make Darnold or similar QBs into Allen. Dorsey should realize that too. He has a lot of things to work on yet in Buffalo. There is a right time for everything and IMO it would be a mistake to jump to HC too early and to a bad organization. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
